Goodwood by rhubarb

Horseracing

The home of champions

In 1802 the 3rd Duke of Richmond introduced horseracing to Goodwood for the amusement of local army officers. Race week was so popular it was soon dubbed Glorious Goodwood and today the racecourse is renowned for being one of the most exciting – and is considered by many to be the most beautiful – in the world.

Midweek Racing

Our midweek racing fixture on the 27 September offers racegoers the perfect chance to enjoy the final throes of summer at a more relaxed pace than some of our other racedays. As such, they offer the perfect opportunity to bring family, friends or work colleagues to sample Goodwood’s delights.
